Peter Mark Adams is organising an eight-day archaeological journey through the sacred landscapes of Anatolia, exploring some of south-eastern Türkiye’s most significant sites from the Neolithic to the Roman period.
Beginning in Istanbul, the tour will travel east to Mount Nemrut and Arsameia on the Nymphaios, with its early evidence associated with Mithras, before visiting Roman Doliche, home to the sanctuary of Jupiter Dolichenus and a Mithraic complex, and Zeugma, renowned for its Roman mosaics.
The journey continues to Şanlıurfa and the extraordinary Neolithic landscape of Taş Tepeler, including Göbekli Tepe, Karahantepe and Sayburç, before reaching the Roman frontier fortress of Zerzevan.
Conceived as an exploration of the sacred landscapes of Anatolia, the itinerary brings together religious sites and traditions spanning several millennia, from the monumental ritual landscapes of the early Neolithic to the Persianate, Hellenistic and Roman worlds.
The tour will take place from 16 to 23 March 2027. Full details, including the day-by-day itinerary and practical information, can be found in the accompanying tour brochure.
